such earnings are to be based will not
probably exceed per cent. Hereafter
1t seems probable that the earnings for
our railroads are to increase IN ratio
considerably greater than the amount
OF capital investment in them. A
striking feature in the results of the OPP
Grafton of the railroads of the country
for the past wear is the increase of the
tonnage traffic and earnings of the three
great trunk ines-the New York Cen
trail, including the West Shore; the
Erie, including the New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio, and the Penn
sylvania Division. The mileage OF
the above lines equaled SO per cent. of
the total mileage operated IN the
United States the past year; their ton
mage equaled very nearly IL per cent. OF
the whole. The increase of their ton
mage equaled 6, S47 1876 tons, the increase
eqnaling Is per cent. of the increase for
all the roads. The increase of their
earnings equaled SI3 1857, 1877, or about 80
per cent. of the whole. These three
lines convey to the seaboard the greater
portion of the produce of the interior,
whether sent forward for domestic con-
sumption or expectation, so that with
rates maintained their traffic is likely to
increase in greater ratio than any of
other lines.
In 1880 there were twenty-tbree miles
of railroad in the United States.

Removing a Serious Obstruction

Dynamite and giant powder might
answer admirably to remove obstruc-

necessity for so doing. On the contrary.

blind adherents of Anticipated theories

Watching q Bear Hunt in Mirror.
In 1916, as John Mimic had to go up
the Columbia river, he took passage with
an Indian chief who had something of a
retinus. There was a sub chief who
looked after things of minor importance,
and dusky maiden to whom old Pu-Pu
Mox Mox, who was then great chief and
was destined later to fall in battle in com
msnd of the combined forces of the Inland
Empire, showed very devoted attention.
There were also several slaves who drove
the canoes with their paddles for motive
power. Somewhere on the grand river,
when among the ranges that tower above
Cape Horn, Mimic noticed that the Indian 6
acted very singularly and rather suspi.
ciously. They stopped the canoes and
looked down in the water intently Then
two slaves and sub chief got into,the
smaller canoe and started to cross the
river. Suddenly Mimic dropped on it,
and saw what the Indians saw. 1t was
one of those beautiful transparent days
when the air and water are clear us crys-
tai. The sun of autumn either had not
risen so as TO reach the deep canyon with
its rays or had dropped behind the west
GIN hoiSho- ANY way, butSt HtiHDIs
were reflected so perfectly on the surface
Of the river that the Indians had watched
the mountain sides as they padded along
The cause Of their strange action was
seeing bear on high ridge across thu
river from them eating berries The
slaves took fusees across the river to at
tack. They climbed the bluff, took aim
fired, missed and the bear ran away-hs
was not hurt. All this Mimic saw OF

GOVERNOR GORDON. new tOrS state militia
marched with columns of men on each side of
their band of nearly 100 pieces forming a
pretty spectacle. Gilmore's band, leading the
Twenty Second Regiment, outshone all the
other musical features of the parade, and Pat
Gilmore himself was the recipient of many
compliments As between the different New
York regiments q disinterested Observer
would find it difficult to pass an opinion as to
which excelled Brooklyn's crack regiment,
the Twenty Third marched thirty four
abreast, producing a novel effect The AL
bany Jackson corps received a graceful bow
of recognition from the president.
Governor Foraker, at the head of the Four

uncovered for long time In order to &C

Gus friends The Fourteenth carried with
them the battle-scarred fags-relics of the
late unpleasantness Governor Larrabee, Of
Iowa, at the head of the Governors Foot
Guard, bowed to the president and Mrs.
Cleveland as he rode by the stand.
Directly behind them came the eolored
troops from Washington, who were heartily
greeted The rear of the parade was brought
up by the Grand Army Of the Republic, and
as each company passed in front of the stand
its commander gave a salute which was
gracefully recognized by the president The
appearance Of the veterans, some on crutches
and all bearing on their vlsages the unerring
mark Of time, seemed to arouse a sentiment

was not given chance TO display her speed
until after the first half of the race, when she
was evidently sailed Tor all she was worth,
with foul bottom, and was therefore out
